Minerals: Their Constitution and Origin Minerals: Their Constitution and Origin is an introduc- tion to mineralogy for undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of geology, materials science, and environmental science. It has been designed as a textbook for use on a semester course and covers all aspects of mineralogy in a thoroughly modern and integrated way. The book is divided into five parts. Part I deals with the general concepts of structures and bond- ing within minerals, and introduces symmetry prin- ciples as well as graphic representations such as the stereographic projection. It discusses growth, de- fects, and general issues of isomorphism and poly- morphism. Part II centers on the physics of miner- als, including determination of structural features by X-ray diffraction, an introduction to optical prop- erties, and the use of the petrographic microscope. Part III explores the range of naturally forming minerals and introduces hand specimen identifi- cation. It gives an overview of the various modes of mineral formation, and provides a background in thermodynamics to facilitate an understanding of mineral equilibria in geological environments and phase transformations. Part IV provides a sys- tematic treatment of mineral groups within the context of mineral-forming environments. Part V demonstrates the application of mineralogy to the fields of metal deposits, gems, cement, and hu- man health. It also explores how minerals form in the universe, and how they have been active components at each stage of the evolution of the earth. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on link- ing minerals to broader geological processes. Unlike more traditional books on this topic, the authors also convey the importance of minerals within our everyday lives and their economic value. Complete with beautiful color photographs, handy reference tables and a glossary of terms, this textbook will be an indispensable guide for the next generation of mineralogy students. Hans-Rudolf Wenk is Professor of Geology at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley and Andrei Bulakh is Professor in the Department of Mineralogy at St Pe- tersburg State University.

Minerals: Their Constitution and Origin

Minerals: Their Constitution and Origin is an introduc-

tion to mineralogy for undergraduate and graduate

students in the fields of geology, materials science,

and environmental science. It has been designed as

a textbook for use on a semester course and covers

all aspects of mineralogy in a thoroughly modern

and integrated way.

The book is divided into five parts. Part I deals

with the general concepts of structures and bond-

ing within minerals, and introduces symmetry prin-

ciples as well as graphic representations such as

the stereographic projection. It discusses growth, de-

fects, and general issues of isomorphism and poly-

morphism. Part II centers on the physics of miner-

als, including determination of structural features

by X-ray diffraction, an introduction to optical prop-

erties, and the use of the petrographic microscope.

Part III explores the range of naturally forming

minerals and introduces hand specimen identifi-

cation. It gives an overview of the various modes

of mineral formation, and provides a background

in thermodynamics to facilitate an understanding

of mineral equilibria in geological environments

and phase transformations. Part IV provides a sys-

tematic treatment of mineral groups within the

context of mineral-forming environments. Part V

demonstrates the application of mineralogy to the

fields of metal deposits, gems, cement, and hu-

man health. It also explores how minerals form

in the universe, and how they have been active

components at each stage of the evolution of the

earth.

Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on link-

ing minerals to broader geological processes. Unlike

more traditional books on this topic, the authors

also convey the importance of minerals within our

everyday lives and their economic value. Complete

with beautiful color photographs, handy reference

tables and a glossary of terms, this textbook will be

an indispensable guide for the next generation of

mineralogy students.

Hans-Rudolf Wenk is Professor of Geology at the Uni-

versity of California at Berkeley and Andrei Bulakh is

Professor in the Department of Mineralogy at St Pe-

tersburg State University. Both have written many

research papers in the fields of mineralogy, crys-

tallography, geochemistry and tectonophysics, and

have used this extensive expertise to create a com-

prehensive and stimulating textbook.

Preface

Minerals: Their Constitution and Origin is an intro-

duction to mineralogy for undergraduate stu-

dents and graduate students in all fields of

geology, materials science, and environmental

sciences, and for those with a general interest

in the subject. As a background, the reader is as-

sumed to be familiar with general principles of

physics and chemistry at the high school level.

In this text we introduce principles of crystallo-

graphic and structural features of minerals, as

well as the physical property characteristics used

to identify them. We also provide a survey of the

most important minerals (about 250 and details

for about 100) and their geological occurrence.

The basic types of mineral deposit, both those of

scientific and those of economic importance, are

discussed, often in conjunction with the system-

atic treatment of the mineral classes most closely

associated with particular deposits. The book con-

cludes with a series of chapters on applied min-

eralogy, including a survey of the main industrial

uses of minerals.

There are many excellent mineralogy text-

books, ranging from the early Niggli (1920) mono-

graph (which still contains much of the infor-

mation which is needed), to modern books such

as Putnis (1992), Blackburn and Dennen (1994),

Perkins (1998), Nesse (2000), Hibbard (2002) and

Klein (2002). Why do we add a new book to an

already seemingly saturated market?

To answer this question, we need to look

at how mineralogy courses have evolved. The

modern earth science curriculum, particularly

at American universities, is very different from

that taught 25 years ago. At that time mineral-

ogy was covered with two- to four-semester-long

courses. Today mineralogy has become at best a

one-semester course with two lectures per week

and laboratory sessions. This change in empha-

sis is due to evolving fields such as geomorphol-

ogy, hydrology, climatology, and geophysics that

increasingly have become part of the standard

earth science course load. Yet the importance of

mineralogy for a wide variety of disciplines has

increased. Fields ranging from igneous petrology

to soils science, from archaeology to cement en-

gineering, from materials science to structural

geology make use of mineralogy, and students

from these diverse disciplines need to be accom-

modated. Students do not have time to go into

great detail but they do need to become aware

of basic concepts. Our book provides an alterna-

tive to existing texts by focusing more tightly on

concepts, at the expense of completeness, and by

integrating geological processes and applications

more closely with the discussions of systematic

mineralogy.

Our goal is to be selective in including mate-

rial rather than all inclusive, yet trying to remain

quantitative, scientifically sound, and avoiding

superficiality. It is well known that many stu-

dents are frightened of mathematical expres-

sions. We are using a few equations here and

there, but they can be skipped, without losing

the thread, if students do not have the necessary

background. Since most geology programs re-

quire mathematics and physics courses, it seems

only reasonable to show students that some of

this is useful and can be applied to earth sci-

ences. It brings satisfaction to those who have

taken mathematics courses to see some quantita-

tive relationships, for example how trigonometry

can be used to calculate interfacial angles, basic

thermodynamics to understand a boundary in a

phase diagram, simple linear algebra to appreci-

ate why a second-rank tensor, such as the opti-

cal indicatrix, has the shape of an ellipsoid, or

how complex numbers can be used to add waves

more easily analytically than graphically to ob-

tain diffraction intensities.

One of the biggest challenges in teaching

mineralogy is that some of the most difficult,

theoretically demanding material, is presented

relatively early in the course. There are logical

reasons for focusing on crystal chemistry and

crystallographic topics earlier, rather than later.

Many students have already encountered some

do recognize that crystallography is a notoriously

difficult challenge for many students, requiring

them to become adept at three-dimensional visu-

alization, which is often initially difficult. Thus

our treatment of this subject judiciously empha-

sizes the most important concepts so that stu-

dents are not left to wade through pages of ex-

haustive facts that in many cases are better left

for later courses.

The presentation of the text deviates some-

what from the conventional organizational ap-

proach that separates geometry (crystallography),

crystal chemistry, systematic mineralogy, and

petrology. Instead, throughout the book we com-

bine theoretical subjects with experiments, and

discuss larger mineral-forming processes in the

context of specific mineral groups (e.g., the ori-

gin of granite with feldspars). Such an approach

comes naturally and is more likely to focus stu-

dent interest in the subject. The goal has been

to select material that should make it easier to

teach mineralogy and make learning about min-

erals more stimulating.

As mentioned above, our goal is to empha-

size concepts and to minimize nomenclature.

In order not to interrupt the flow of required

material, some case studies and details are in-

cluded in ‘‘technical boxes’’, while ‘‘enrichment

boxes’’ contain supplementary historical mate-

rial or applications. The text includes appendices

covering identification of hand specimens and

optical properties. Some subjects are necessary

background for all aspects of mineralogy: basic

rules of crystal chemistry (Chapter 2), lattice,

and symmetry (Chapters 3 and 4). Many other

chapters are optional and can be skipped at the

discretion of the instructor.

The book is divided into five parts. Part I deals

with general concepts of structures, bonding, in-

troduces the lattice concept, symmetry and crys-

tal forms as well as geometrical representations

such as stereographic projection. It also discusses

growth, defects and general issues of isomor-

phism and polymorphism.

Part II centers on the physics of minerals. First

it shows how to determine by X-ray diffraction

the structural features introduced in Part I. Chap-

ter 8 on physical properties is optional but we in-

clude it because of the importance of this field for

modern geophysics. We introduce optical proper-

ties and the use of the petrographic microscope

early on because most mineralogy courses need

to have this background before mineral systems

are discussed in detail. Clearly parts of Chapter 10

on mineral identification with a microscope rely

on access to relevant laboratory equipment. If

there is no such access to microscopes, or if a

separate course in optical mineralogy is available,

Chapters 9 and 10 can be skipped. Chapter 12,

on advanced analytical techniques, introduces

equipment that may be encountered in modern

mineralogical research laboratories and provides

references for further study.

Part III explores the range of minerals and

introduces hand specimen identification. It also

discusses the wide range of mineral forma-

tion, and provides some background in thermo-

dynamics for understanding mineral equilibria

in geological environments and phase transfor-

mations. Later chapters include applications of

thermodynamics to sedimentary, hydrothermal,

metamorphic, and igneous processes to demon-

strate its relevancy.

Part IV is a systematic treatment of mineral

groups and about 200 of the most important min-

erals. Each chapter combines mineral character-

istics with a discussion of a mineral-forming en-

vironment.

Part V on applied mineralogy deals with top-

ics such as metal deposits, gems, cement, hu-

man health, and explores how minerals form in

the universe and were active components at each

stage of the evolution of the earth. This part is

largely independent of the rest of the book. If

there is no time in class, these chapters can be

used as reading assignments and form good start-

ing points for term projects. The chapters should

illustrate to students that mineralogy is not just

complicated formulas, strange names, Miller in-

dices, and point-groups, but has some practical

significance. This may raise some interest.

Appendices contain determinative tables and

important technical terms are defined in a glos-

sary.

The book is written in a modular fashion that

permits instructors to select or omit some parts,

depending on the level of the course, without

compromising the continuity.

PREFACE xvii

� The content of the whole book seems to us

the minimum one would expect a mineralogy

graduate student to know before entering a

qualifying examination. In that sense it can be

used as a review. Reference is made to more

detailed work to pursue in-depth studies.� A descriptive one-semester course may omit most

of Part II, except perhaps Chapter 11 (Color),

Chapters 17--18 (Thermodynamics, and Solid

Solutions), as well as most of the advanced

boxes. A selection of chapters from Part V can

be useful.� A more analytical one-semester mineralogy course

at major universities would probably touch

only briefly on Chapter 8 (Physical properties),

may omit Chapters 9 and 10 (if no microscope

laboratory session is associated with the

course), Chapter 12 (Additional analytical

methods), and may not have time to include

much of Part V, except for reading

assignments.

The origin of this book goes back to 1993,

when a student from (then) Leningrad visited

Berkeley on an exchange program and brought a

little red book on mineralogy, written by her pro-

fessor, Andrei Bulakh, that caught Rudy Wenk’s

attention because it was exactly the kind of brief

introduction into mineralogy he was looking for.

Over the following years we established further

contact, in part through the exchange of another

student, Anton Chakmouradyan, who came to

play a considerable role in this project. After re-

ciprocal visits to St Petersburg and Berkeley, spon-

sored by the University of California Education

Abroad Program, the authors decided to attempt

to produce an English mineralogy book, in the

spirit of the Russian version, though not a trans-

lation. The different backgrounds of the authors

guarantee a broad view: Andrei Bulakh is a spe-

cialist on alkaline rocks and minerals and geo-

chemistry and has written several books that are

widely used in Russian universities. Rudy Wenk’s

research has emphasized metamorphic rocks, in-

cluding deformation, and investigations of mi-

crostructures in feldspars and carbonates. Both

have taught introductory mineralogy at major

universities for a long time. In this book we have

tried to unite our expertise.
